"Ultimate Guide to Once Human Shrapnel Build"

In the immersive world of *Once Human*, the Shrapnel build emerges as a powerhouse, known for its ability to unleash widespread damage through shrapnel effects that target multiple parts of enemies. This guide aims to provide a detailed walkthrough on crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, covering the best selections in weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you dominate the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To grasp the essence of the Shrapnel build, it's crucial to understand its foundational concept. This build revolves around weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, inflicting additional damage on parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, expanding magazine capacity, and amplifying shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build delivers a relentless wave of destructive force. Envision it as launching fireworks, where enemies suffer from multiple collateral hits. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

At the heart of the Shrapnel build lies the SOCR – The Last Valor. This assault rifle is prized for its high rate of fire and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on every hit, causing extra damage to random unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits not only double this effect but also add a 30% boost to critical damage, making it an excellent choice for prolonged combat. To acquire the blueprint for this weapon, you can use the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or purchase it for 8,000 Starchrom from the Blueprint Shop. For the best results, crafting the Tier V version is highly recommended.

Recommended Attachments:

• Large Brake: +4 Range, +20 Accuracy, -8 Stability
• Reflex Sight: Zoom Level 2.0x, Aiming Speed +5.0%, Stability +5
• Tactical Laser Sight: +19 Accuracy, +12% Aiming Speed
• Extended Rifle Mag: Magazine Capacity +8, -13% Reload Speed

Secondary Weapon – DE.50 – Wildfire

The DE.50 – Wildfire complements the Shrapnel build by applying “The Bull’s Eye” effect, which marks targets and increases their vulnerability, enhancing the shrapnel's impact. As an alternative, the Recurve Crossbow can mark enemies with “The Bull’s Eye” when hitting weak spots, offering a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for the primary weapon to deal maximum damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a vital melee component in the Shrapnel build. Its “Fortress Warfare” ability, triggered by heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that bestows Heavy Armor on allies, significantly enhancing team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

For the Shrapnel build, the Lonewolf set is the top choice, offering boosts to magazine capacity and critical hit rates. The set’s “Lone Shadow” effect further amplifies critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. You can obtain blueprints for each piece of the Lonewolf set through the Wish Machine at the Blueprints Shop, costing 3,000 Starchrom each.

Recommended Mods for Weapons

• Shrapnel Souvenir: Automatically reloads the magazine upon triggering shrapnel, allowing for uninterrupted firing.
• Shrapnel Smash: Boosts the critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, with a maximum stack of 20 times.
• Crit Amplifier: Increases critical hit rate by 10% and critical damage by 15%.
• Momentum Up: Enhances fire rate by 10% for the first half of the magazine and boosts weapon damage by 30% for the second half.

Recommended Mods for Armor

• Targeted Strike (Face): Increases damage against marked targets.
